IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

WILLIAM JOHN CONNORS, No. 77833 Appellant, vs. DIANNE M. DICKSON, DEPUTY L Lca PUBLIC DEFENDER; OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC DEFENDER OF CLARK COUNTY; COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondents.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a minute order dismissing appellant's petition for a writ of mandamus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge. Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that it was prematurely filed, before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust u. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (explaining that the district court's oral pronouncement from the bench, the clerk's minute order, and even an unfiled written order cannot be appealed). Therefore, this court has no jurisdiction, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
